"This series of books is such a delight to read. This one could be subtitled "Walt and the Cheyenne Nation take Philly", but despite the absence of the local Wyoming colorful characters, the fully fleshed out Moretti family more than makes up for it. (Oh, and a significant event that I'd read about in the series finally happens in this book -- can't wait to see if the television series goes in that direction). I enjoy the whole "fish out of water" vibe from the book, although Walt is rarely uncomfortable anywhere -- he finds allies and kindred souls in the most unlikely places. I would have liked more Henry, but a little Henry is better than none at all. I enjoyed learning more about Cady and Vic as well. These books make me laugh out loud and repeat dialogue to my spouse, and this one also left me with a huge lump in my throat at the end. Now racing to get on the list for the next book at the library,"

“Multifaceted and rich with depth and history.”
— Denver Post“Johnson crafts great, imaginative mysteries with lots of twists, turns, and misdirections. Even in this big-city setting, a sense of the West and its values overlays the action.”
— Billings Gazette“Johnson’s pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps.”
— Entertainment Weekly“The quick pace and tangled web of interconnected crimes will keep readers turning pages.”
— Publishers Weekly“Johnson deftly integrates country and city sensibilities; makes Walt’s love and fear for Cady palpable; and casts a droll eye on Walt and romance...A must-read for both the tough and the tenderhearted.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" Another fabulous read from Craig Johnson. Walt Longmire in Philly - it took a few pages to envision that one. But the image of Walt, Henry, and Dog driving across country in "Lola" made me laugh. This round, Walt wasn't just the sheriff, he became a father in my eyes. What a wonderful book. "
— Cathy, 1/30/2014" I was surprised that some people did not like this book because it was set in Philadelphia instead of Wyoming. I thought it really added to the series in a unique way. The book was very good and I liked the fact that Longmire was out of his element, far from home and hurting for his daughter at the same time. It made for some interesting moments for Walt. And can I say I love the relationship between Walt and Henry? Its everything a deep friendship should be. Terrific read! "
— Joanie, 1/18/2014" Another excellent entry in a wonderful series. At the point in some series where the main character is temporarily transplanted to another city, the writing often goes awry, but that is not the case here. Fish-out-of-water Sheriff Longmire is just as intriguing in Philadelphia as he is in his native Wyoming. A wonderful read! "
— Theresa, 12/31/2013" Great book that has Walt back in Philly helping his daughter who is fighting for her life in a coma. Vic comes back to her home town to help Walt out with the mystery of who attacked his daughter and solving a number of murders. "
— Fred, 12/31/2013" Kept my attention as did its predecessors! An excellent writer! "
— Gene, 12/27/2013" This series is just absolutely fantastic. Walt for President. "
— Nikki, 12/26/2013" Walt goes East! Characters develop. In the end I wanted him to go home WYO as bad as he did! "
